The increase in the number of unexpected deaths cases is driving the at-need arrangement segment in the US death care market. In 2016, an average of 106 people in theUS died per day due to injuries related to firearms (including suicides, homicides, legal intervention, unintentional firearm deaths, and firearm deaths of undetermined intent).
